At the signing ceremony for the acquisition agreement, Tsutomu Komori, Executive Vice President in charge of NSK's Automotive Business Division Headquarters, said: "NSK has the top market share for bearings in China. We are aiming to double our current level of sales in China to 200 billion yen by NSK's centenary in 2016. By establishing  this  partnership  with  Gongzhuling Bearing, we hope to further deepen our understanding  of  the  Chinese  market  and  to  further  contribute  to  the  country's  economic development. Through our collaboration with Gongzhuling Bearing, NSK aims to identify future trends in the market as quickly as possible. In tandem with China's further growth, NSK will continue on its path to becoming a true insider in the Chinese market." 

Gongzhuling Bearing President Li Gang remarked: "It is a great honor to offer a stake in our company to NSK, a world-leading bearing manufacturer. We already have a strong presence in the high-volume market. By collaborating with NSK, with its globally advanced technological capabilities, we can now also target the high-end market which has been difficult for us to enter on our own in the past. Gongzhuling Bearing and NSK are an ideal match, as we can pursue wider segments of the Chinese market through collaboration." 

NSK is the third largest bearing manufacturer in the world. Having a global number-one share in automotive bearings and the number-two share in steering systems, NSK provides a wide range of automotive components to customers globally. In China, NSK sells automotive bearings such as hub unit bearings as well as electric power steering and other steering systems. Gongzhuling Bearing supplies a wide variety of automotive bearings to Chinese automobile manufacturers.  

With the further growth of the automobile market in China, highly advanced automotive technologies are being introduced. In the high-volume segment, cost performance has been the  top  priority  until  now.  However,  high  functionality  such  as  lower  fuel consumption  and  product  durability  are  becoming  more  and  more  important.  This development is leading to significant changes in the Chinese market environment.  

About NSK
Established in 1916, NSK produced the first ball bearings made in Japan. Over its history, NSK has developed a wide range of bearings and supplied them around the world, making significant contributions to the development of industry and advancements in machinery. At present, NSK holds the top market share in Japan and the third largest share in the world for bearings. By applying its high precision processing technologies refined over many years of manufacturing bearings, NSK began diversifying into automotive products and precision machinery and parts at an early stage. The NSK Group has been aggressively expanding beyond Japan since the 1960s, and currently operates 62 production sites in 12 countries. NSK's roots in China stretch back over 40 years, when it began providing technologies to the country's state-owned industries. Now, with 12 production sites and 19 sales sites in China, NSK is contributing to the development of many kinds of industries throughout the country, including automobiles and industrial machinery. 

About the MOS Group
The MOS Group is a bearing manufacturer based in Zhejiang Province, China.  Originally specializing in small diameter ball bearings for office equipment, the group currently has the top market share among domestic manufacturers in China's small-bearing market, and also exports beyond China. In recent years, the MOS Group has been undertaking mergers and acquisitions to aggressively enter the truck bearing, precision machinery bearing, and large-size bearing markets. In taking this direction, the group is manufacturing larger size bearings for automobiles, machine tools, and wind power generation facilities, in addition to the office equipment bearings it has produced in the past.  The MOS Group operates seven factories and recorded sales equivalent to almost 10 billion yen in 2011. 

About Gongzhuling Bearing Co., Ltd.
Gongzhuling Bearing was established in 1958 in Jilin Province, China, as a state-owned enterprise. Since that time, Gongzhuling Bearing has expanded its supply of automotive bearings to major manufacturers, including the First Automobile Works Group, Dongfeng  Motor Corporation, and the China National Heavy Duty Truck Group. Gongzhuling Bearing was privatized in 2008, and the MOS Group acquired a 70% stake while the remaining 30% stake was acquired by Jilin State-owned Asset Management Co., Ltd. Sales in 2011 amounted to approximately 4 billion yen.
